UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
3-21、22 2月底就有片源了，竟然拖拖拉拉到现在才看完。经典故事加成出错的概率不大，这版钱多了，灯光画面舞蹈服饰都太精美好看了。还是掩不住悲剧的内核，在打架那里竟然暗自希望能改故事，但是如果改了其实后半部电影就完全不存在了，也失去了它该有的意义了。因为自己看着看着也意识到，后半段的悲剧才是让这个故事重新升华的地方，所有的恨和爱交织在那几个角色短暂的两天时间里。
新瓶装旧酒，翻车翻大了。不明白这个陈旧故事怎么会一点改编的痕迹都没有，Tony Kushner你好歹是写出过“天使在美国”的大神啊！另外，阵容gay到我了...
由于原片和歌曲实在太经典，很长一段片长斗觉得就是对60年前的卡拉OK。而对那些没能流传的曲子也就没了记忆。看到后面，才觉得致敬和独创的比例挺合适。独创尤其体现在演员和语言上，终于接受外语的好莱坞，干脆把鲨鱼帮全用拉美演员，且连西语部分都不配字幕，显然从老家伙斯皮尔伯格做起，跟迂腐的过去决裂。但毕竟珠玉在前，歌舞部分尤其决斗戏，真没当年看到西区故事时的震撼了。
[용아맥] 龙山巨幕中间位置爽到天灵盖了，极致视听享受，伯恩斯坦真牛，对比安妮特，我的耳朵真的受苦了🤐，虽然都在说男女主演技，但这不就是现代版罗密欧与朱丽叶吗，莎式爱情故事真的很难入戏，观众都腻啦。
非要拍老套故事能不能按老式标准选演员 秃头歪脸粗脖男主怎么撑得起一见钟情的故事 要不把女主改成瞎子？ 女二确实很不错
★★★★★十颗星送给Mike Faist绝妙的歌舞和表演！两极交战的痛苦观感，精妙绝伦的调度、摄影、服装、编舞，舞台布景彻底转为cinema的催眠，只有复杂微妙深不可测的视觉技巧才能做到，旧好莱坞的回魂仪式徐徐掀起幕布。但是魔法师执着推移造梦轨道，星尘却荡然无存，驱动咒语失声在任何精确到毫厘的浪漫方程式都无法补救的男女主角化学反应的先天厄运，消音在顶级制作亦难以遮掩的致命唱跳短板，而翻新期许被不可抗力导致的错误选角和保守的种族性别的多重隐语移植再造所扑灭。不同于音乐优先的默认语法，肢体碰撞之间汹涌的爱恨世仇和喷溅的荷尔蒙成为叙事行进的鼓点和层次，瓦砾和盐尘破败颓废却生机灼热的美学表达呼之欲出。几段载入影史级别的典范配合回想起来只是因为有Mike Faist在其中。很遗憾，这本可以是一部杰作。
演员没什么问题，是题材不好吗，感觉拍的也有问题
前半段无聊得要死，连主角是谁都找好久，后半段全是WTF，奥斯卡门槛已经降到地心了
翻拍嘛，情节的事就不归导演管了
新瓶装旧酒，翻车翻大了。不明白这个陈旧故事怎么会一点改编的痕迹都没有，Tony Kushner你好歹是写出过“天使在美国”的大神啊！另外，阵容gay到我了...
（另，剧本和情节虽然有病又奇怪，但是我忍了！）
你永远可以相信斯皮尔伯格，真的太神了！尽管老派的帮派对峙和罗密欧与朱丽叶式的爱情故事放在当代确实有点傻楞，但真的每一场戏都令人叹为观止。可以被列入教科书级别的摄影、场面调度、灯光，每一幕结束都想鼓掌的程度，冲着硬件五星了，这就是好莱坞电影工业制作的天花板吧。有把舞台剧改编成电影形式发挥到极致了，是电影的魔法！好爱嫂子。（唯一不足的可能是演员们的声音素质，一开始还以为男二才是男主..以及能不能照顾一下不会西语的观众朋友们
太难看了，故事稀烂，逻辑稀碎，歌舞平平，又臭又长，主要男女主角太丑又没啥演技，如坐针毡啊。
刚开场就很有舞台剧的感觉，但是也就仅此而已了
标准的好莱坞工业流水线作品，来自最固守好莱坞经典制作风格的导演，故事都快被盘出包浆了，也就不奢求什么了，视听上几乎完全为叙事和类型服务，无论是导演还是观众，我们对现实与舞台的混融都已经驾轻就熟——这种成熟的工业体制反而让单薄的故事线更显孱弱，不得不依靠给女性角色加戏份（因为她们是旁观者所以加起戏来分外容易）来搪塞一下。看到片尾的For Dad，就会明白为什么斯皮尔伯格的歌舞片尝试要选择原封不动的翻拍——即便如此，你也没办法说这是部烂片，所有导演都得先成为斯皮尔伯格才行。
顶级的美术和配乐加上糟糕的剧情，难以形容我看完之后的感想。生搬硬套罗密欧与朱丽叶却改得相当尴尬，整个黑帮斗殴全程冒傻气，甚至给我感觉他们打着打着就要去练舞室跳舞了。人物行为逻辑崩坏是整部电影走向失败的开始，女主舞会跳了支舞就要跟仇家男主私奔，第二天就要跟他结婚，亲哥被爱人手刃当晚就跟杀哥仇人上床，还跟嫂子吵架，就你的爱情最高贵，哥嫂的爱情就啥也不是对吗？导演用颜色区分两个帮派观感是很好，女主认识男主没几天就开始天天穿蓝色，新时代白眼狼，有了爱情就没家庭的典型恋爱脑，结果最后还没殉情。男主一脸见色起意和软弱无能干啥啥不行。但在音乐方面还是继承了百老汇的优秀品质，哥嫂街舞和tonight都很吸睛，lighting和布景部门超预期发挥，拍摄也很有水准，如果把脑子放空来看，这是部很好看的音乐mtv。

举手投足间，处处渗出舞蹈功力，跳起舞来更是熠熠闪光。
调度，开头一镜非常之棒，然剧情让人难以忍受
漂亮的灯光舞美也挽救不了这片的男主，片尾for Dad说明了导演的意图。
